third-party software and can lock in one look for the application or allow users
to select from different skins. DirectSkin supports all major Microsoft development

The rugged RPT-6010 tablet PC from
Ajax Systems might be more suitable for soldiers than nurses.

Next time you need to send e-mail or wrap up a PowerPoint presentation underwater
or while falling from a height of 3 feet, consider Ajax Systems’
RPT-6010 tablet PC. Though it doesn’t tout the
bulletproof polycarbonate plastic of Apple’s iBook, the RPT-6010 does
feature a waterproof and dustproof aluminum-alloy casing and can withstand shock
of 40Gs and vibration of 10Gs. The 6.4-pound (with battery) tablet PC is powered
by a mobile Intel Pentium III 866MHz processor and has a 10.4-inch 800x600 resolution
TFT LCD touch screen, 128MB RAM, a 20GB hard drive and 32MB VRAM. http://www.ajaxsys.com
